Stephen King Domination Continues with In the Tall Grass
This is getting crazy, you guys. Pet Sematary, Tommyknockers, and The Long Walk are all headed toward production. Castle Rock dropped a new trailer last week and we are holding our collective breath until IT: Chapter 2 finally unleashes Pennywise yet again. Just when we think we couldn’t squeeze any more entertainment out of Stephen King’s brain, here comes another. THR is reporting that an adaptation of In the Tall Grass is on the way...
Ryan Reynolds Would Like you to Not Spoil Deadpool 2 Please
Earlier today, Wade Wilson had some stern words for Europe, now, he’s got a few for you, too. Ryan Reynolds took to his Twitter page to respectfully ask that you not tell anyone the plot of Deadpool 2 after you see it. Considering 20th Century Fox has been going with the below synopsis, you know Reynolds is serious:
After surviving a near fatal bovine attack, a disfigured cafeteria chef (Wade Wilson) struggles to fulfill his dream of becoming Miami’s hottest bartender,...
Jordan Peele Announces His Directorial Follow-Up to Get Out
If DVD boxsets were a thing in the future, there would someday be a Criterion Collection dedicated to Jordan Peele horror films. That is something that we never could have conceived of 3 years ago, but in a post-Get Out world, it absolutely delights us. Peele has announced his next tale of terror will be titled simply Us, and even teased us with some stunning artwork.
We barely just learned of the existence of Us,...
Wade Wilson Would Like a Word With Europe in new Deadpool 2 Spot
Did you know Wade Wilson (better known as Deadpool) is a much beloved son of Canada? Now you do. We’re sure that you are aware that Ryan Reynolds, the man behind the red spandex mask, is also a beloved son of Canada. And really, we can’t think of a more Canadian character than the proper, polite, mild mannered Deadpool. Wait, this doesn’t seem right. Deadpool is from Canada? Yes, yes he is. And while the location of his birth has remained undisclosed by the Canadian government,...
Margot Robbie Teases Harley Quinn Spinoff as a Possible R-Rated Girl Gang Movie
If you were going to rank the most beloved characters in the entire DC Comics canon, Harley Quinn would likely be near the top thanks to Margot Robbie’s performance in 2016’s Suicide Squad. Ever since Robbie smashed and grabbed her way into the hearts of millions with her indelible performance as daddy’s lil’ monster, Warner Bros. has wisely been working towards giving Harley Quinn a larger canvas.
There have been a bunch of potential spinoff projects bandied about,...
How Avengers: Infinity War’s VFX Animation Director Micro-Managed Thanos’s Facial Expressions
Phil Cramer doesn’t watch films the way most of people do. When the man who directed VFX animation for Avengers: Infinity War goes to the movies, he studies the characters’ cheeks. “I like to stare at the actor’s face and see what moves and why does it move,” he says. “You’d be shocked by how complex those motions are.”
Cramer became a student of twitches, jiggles and wrinkles in 2009, when he served as lead animator on the pioneering motion capture epic Avatar...
The Solo: A Star Wars Story Soundtrack Name Checks Several Franchise Icons
‘The Imperial March,’ ‘Battle of the Heroes,’ and ‘Lando’s Closet’ are all beloved classics of the Star Wars canon. Or at least they’re about to be. Those first two are familiar John Williams compositions, but the last is a real song title from the upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story soundtrack. Composer John Powell shared the full song list from the film today on Facebook, and it is all very exciting.
The titles suggest a mix of adventure,...

Ryan Coogler Reveals New Information About Killmonger’s Tragic Backstory in Black Panther Commentary Clip
Still reeling from Avengers: Infinity War? You’re not alone. The most shocking ending of any film in the MCU has left Marvel fans stunned. What’s worse, it’ll be a full year until we get any kind of resolution to Infinity War‘s heartbreaking coda, when Avengers 4 (which won’t be the actual title) is released on May 3, 2019. For this reason and more, we direct your attention to this great commentary clip of Black Panther co-writer/director Ryan Coogler discussing Erik Killmonger (Michael B...
The Pet Sematary Filmmakers Are Planning to Scare Us to Death
Stephen King paints his stories with demons, monsters and ghosts of all varieties, but often his most frightening characters are often the morals. Pet Semetary has some terrifying supernatural elements, but the heart of the story is rooted in the terrible consequences of our desires. It is a real sucker punch of a novel and received a delightful film adaptation in 1989. The movie is a classic and a horror movie must, but lacked some bite in the fright factor...
New Deadpool 2 Poster Trolls Wolverine and Hints at Mysterious Invisible Mutant
In actuality, this Drew Struzan-inspired Deadpool 2 poster is sort of mocking the very studio that produced both Logan and Deadpool 2, while simultaneously proving (once again) how good 20th Century Fox has gotten at giving the Merc with the Mouth the marketing campaign he deserves. “From the studio that killed Wolverine” is one heckuva way to sell your new film, and the poster delivers not only the perfect wisecrack,...
James Gunn Reveals the Most Emotional Thing Groot Ever Said in Avengers: Infinity War
Groot is a tree of few words, and often difficult to interpret as his vocabulary consists of three words. However, the real meaning of what his phrases translate to speaks volumes. None of the Guardians of the Galaxy have any trouble understanding what he is trying to express. Especially if it is inappropriate teenage sass. However, we can forgive all of his back talk after reading this one. Here is where the SUPER SPOILERS come in so bail out now if you haven’t caught the third Avengers in theaters yet...
This Solo: A Star Wars Story Spot Teases Some of the Most Famous Relationships in Han’s Life
Star Wars films are kept notoriously under wraps with plot points kept close to the chest. Seeing how the galactic conflict will unfold is filled with anticipation. That will probably not be the case for Solo: A Star Wars Story, however. Seeing Han’s wild days before battling the Empire is likely to be akin to the thrill of sharing a nostalgic inside joke with a friend. A short new TV spot is packed with familiar references and it is bound to make any fan giddy...
Watch How the Black Panther Makeup Team Applied Thousand of Prosthetics to Michael B. Jordan’s Body
Last month, special effects makeup guru Joel Harlow gave us the inside scoop on all of his magnificent designs for Black Panther. Harlow tackled extremely unique challenges that pushed the boundaries of traditional makeup design. His tasks ranged from creating Erik Killmonger’s (Michael B. Jordan) scars, accessories for Shuri (Letitia Wright), and the lip plates of the Mursi inspired River Tribe. We got all the details from Harlow about the painstaking process for creating and applying the prosthetics,...

We’ve published interviews with three of Avengers: Infinity War‘s incredibly talented crew today: production designer Charles Wood, VFX supervisor Kelly Port and supervising art director Raymond Chan.

How Avengers: Infinity War‘s VFX Supervisor Created Thanos, Marvel’s Biggest, Baddest Villain Ever
Avengers: Infinity War, the biggest movie in history, found its CGI footing through the collective efforts of 11 different VFX outfits. Visual effects supervisor Kelly Port succinctly sums up the focus for his team at the Los Angeles-based Digital Domain company. Port says, “Basically, all the super depressing scenes were us.” He jokes, “It’s like ‘For the next one, give us something funny to do please,’ because these were really heavy scenes.”

The Supervising Art Director for Avengers: Infinity Wars on Mixing Many Worlds
At two-and-half-hours, Avengers: Infinity War might scare off superhero-movie detractors, and that would be too bad. Though most Marvel titles at least attempt to inject humor into their scripts for broader appeal, the jokes in Infinity Wars always land, no matter where that land might be. In Anthony and Joe Russo’s mega-blockbuster, most of the Marvel universe comes together to fight Thanos (Josh Brolin), a suddenly emotionally complex giant on a complicated mission he believes to be essentially good: population control...
Avengers: Infinity War‘s Production Designer on Helping Build the Film’s Heartbreaking Drama
By now, audiences have gotten to know the newly complex Marvel villain Thanos (Josh Brolin), thwarter of the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and Wakandans, the soulful psychopath who has haunted the Marvel Cinematic Universe practically from its inception. The third film in Disney’s Avengers franchise (and the 19th in the MCU), Avengers: Infinity War, is setting both box office records and (spoiler alert) records for how many beloved main characters can be killed off — at least seemingly so — in one 2.5 hour stretch...
Nailing the “Regular People Look” on Tully
For Jason Reitman’s new movie Tully (opening Friday), Charlize Theron gained 50 pounds to play Marlo, the bedraggled mother of three. By design, Marlo’s unkempt house reflects a character who’s way too exhausted to keep the place looking neat and tidy. Canadian production designer Anastasia Masaro explains the backstory. “Marlo’s home is meant to feel like she and her husband bought the house when their first kid was on the way and they really meant to fix it up.”...
Watch the Moment Han Wins the Millennium Falcon From Lando & More in 2 New Solo Clips
Star Wars Day is always special, especially when it falls on a Friday. Today’s already been a great one, thanks to Lucasfilm releasing a bunch of new Solo: A Star Wars Story photos and clips. One of these clips isn’t your typical brief sequence from the upcoming film, but rather a 360º video in which you’re in control of what you see. This means you’ll be the young Han (Alden Ehrenreich) and get to gamble for the Millennium Falcon...
